Save-A-Lot is one of the nation’s leading extreme value, carefully selected assortment grocery chains, operating nearly 1,200 value-oriented stores in all types of neighborhoods. When they came to matrixx the task was simple, obtain more than _ coupon downloads.

As Senior Interactive Producer for matrixx, I noticed that Save-A-Lot was already running the “Great Gift Card Giveaway” sweepstakes where you could win $5,000 in gift cards of your choice and also their Instant Win Game where you could win 1 of 200 gift cards valued at $25. I instantly realized the missed opportunity and requested we allocate a portion of the campaign budget to give the user the ability to print the “$5 off Coupon” after completing the sweepstakes and instant win.

I also worked with Kelly McCallion, Erin Brown and Al Morales to craft an inviting blogger outreach campaign. After personally contacting our favorite budget conscious bloggers we sent out Save-A-Lot gift cards for them to review the no-frills store and perhaps give-away some of the cards to their readers. I was also responsible for managing the campaign’s Google Adwords and Facebook Ads. Additionally, we created a company branded Twitter page and utilized Save-A-Lot‘s pre-existing Facebook page to grow it’s fan-base and generate more coupon prints.

The entire campaign was a huge success generating millions of additional Save-A-Lot website visits and thousands of additional coupon prints.

Almost ever since I have moved to California I have known Jen, although I didn’t always know how important she would become to me. Like most relationships, through the years we have gone through a lot together and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Jen is my best friend and I am very lucky to have her as a part of my life. I was thinking about her when I mixed this track.

(Although I don’t get to spin as much as I should and it shows…) “Anthony It’s You, It’s Me Jen” is a mix by ntho inspired by Jennifer Podany and was spun using 2 direct drive Stanton Str8 30’s, Behringer DJx700 mixer plus Ableton Live & Audacity on MacBook Pro.

A self-hosted mini-promotion can be very beneficial and works great at building and engaging the brand’s social community. For example, if you have a little extra product lying around and want to turn it into a positive image branding campaign that promotes customer appreciation – it is probably not efficient idea to create a full-blown marketing campaign.After all, we only wanted to engage the consumer audience and build image branding while showcasing customer appreciation – not lose money gaining approval and consulting legal with rules that cost more than the prize.

When creating a new campaign online, there are several steps that can be easily missed when rushing toward a fast-approaching deadline.Often, some of the steps which are easy to forget are requirements by the FTC. When creating a campaign that will award a significant prize value it is very important that you consult proper legal help and make sure all of your bases are covered in very precise and specific ‘rules’.Some states even require you to register your promotion officially if the combined prize value is over $5,000.For more help and information on sweepstakes rules take a look at http://www.fredlaw.com/articles/marketing/mark_0310_srb.html.

Now, I am not a lawyer, and in no way should this replace or suffice as proper legal representation.You definitely need to clearly define and post the rules of your promotion.Even if you you weren’t regulated to do so, you would still want to avoid the pain, confusion and sweat that comes without having clearly defined rules, trust me.If you can afford it, consult your legal department to draft specific rules for every campaign give-away – it’s just a safe thing to do.However, if you can’t or do not have the time, this easy-to-follow, 15-item checklist will help ensure your campaign meets all the basic requirements without missing any of the promotional opportunities that help make these online mini-promotions so successful and worthwhile.

Did I miss anything or do you have a trick up your sleeve which you feel works better?If so, make sure to let me know so I can update my approach.Since we live in an ever-changing society, so must my procedures!

Chop & Mix together chives, cheddar and the panchetta with 2/3 cup of milk and 3 Tbsp of oil to get the mix wet. Then add 2 cups biscuit baking mix and mix it all together until well-moistened. Knead the dough on a flour 8-10 times and then roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick.

Cut the dough into 2 inch rounds and cut out 10 individual biscuits. (Jennifer's tip: if you don't have a biscuit cutter use the top of a round glass!) Place biscuits on an unfloured baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes until biscuits are golden brown.

While the biscuits are baking, take 3 eggs, 2 Tbspn of panchetta, 1/4 cup of cheddar and 1/4 cup of milk and whisk ingredients together. Pour ingredients into a greased, stove-top heated skillet. Let the egg cook until the bottom is set, then gently flip over once to cook the top of your omellette. If your timing is right, your biscuits and omellette will finish cooking at the same time.

Cut your omellette into 4 sections and make 4 sandwhiches with 2 biscuits remaining. (To make a circular shape that's the same size as your biscuits use a top of a clean glass.) Spread some Challenge Butter on your remaining biscuits, pour some coffee and OJ and enjoy!
